Bizkets is Drunk? Too heavy needs boost Member 5,929 Member For: 11y 4m 10d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 17/02/14 08:04 AM Share Posted 17/02/14 08:04 AM (edited) do the actuator for sure. I have a turbosmart one and it makes the little turbo hold boost nice. mine had a issue with it and so the stock one got put back on. the psi curve was totally different. have you got a dyno graft to put up with the psi graft. turbosmart one back on and its awesome again.:D Edited 17/02/14 08:06 AM by BiZkets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 11y 10m 21d Posted 17/02/14 08:26 AM Share Posted 17/02/14 08:26 AM You will find with with the standard turbo that you will get no sensation of a top end if your smashing my date in early because once you get to around 5000rpm its out of it efficiency range . So if your driving in auto and just put your foot to the floor it will feel very flat because your spending too much time in the top of the rev range. Try shifting manually ( im assuming its a zf 6 speed) at 5000rpm .But then again the small turbo on 98 can feel pretty gay , so go and get an e85 tune lol.Post up your dyno graph and who tuned it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
